Leave the 'decent' part to your imagination.
Late Byzantine is correct and because it is not your string suit, I'll add that it is actually from the next millennium.

I can tell you this much it's not Nonorius. I will give it one last guess , Constantine IX

Yes, I know that you are waiting for the best possible Siliqua from Honorius to make it the crown of your collection once the rest is finished.
No it's not Constantine IX - can't really give another hint before more guesses.

Did 'Byzantine' mean 'Byzantine' or rather 'Byzantine style'?
Since there are two figures shown, let me make the following guess:
Andronicus II and Michael IX?

Not them. It's Byzantine from one of the minor empires.

In that case I assume it must be a Saint (or so) on the right, could be a halo around the head, so my next guess is
Manuel II of Epirus?
